NBC is planning a new special to celebrate 40 years of Saturday Night Live, the network announced Friday.

The three-hour live special will air Sunday, Feb. 15, 2015 and will feature appearances by current and past cast members, as well as special guests and musical acts.

"Saturday Night Live is an institution unlike anything else in television history," NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt said in a statement. "This brand, which is still one of the highest-rated comedies on television, was the brainchild of Lorne Michaels, who still presides over the whole enterprise today. This special is just one of the many ways we plan to celebrate SNL's historic 40th season next year."
